Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has insisted that he will use his experience from Celtic to ease South Korean talent Yang Min-hyeok into the Spurs set-up over the Christmas period.
The teenage attacker signed a five-year deal with the north London club in the summer, but remained at his Korean club to see out the season before then heading to England.
He contributed to 18 goals directly in K-League and will be available to feature for Spurs for the second half of the Premier League season.
Postecoglou admitted that the teenager cannot be registered until January and he is not ready to rush him into the team, but he is in London now and starting the settling in process.
He has experience working with Asian players in the UK from his time at Celtic and he stressed he will use his experience from the Bhoys to help Min-hyeok settle at Spurs.
“Yes, he has been in the building the last couple of days sort of having a good look around”, Postecoglou told a press conference about the 18-year-old South Korean.
“Obviously we can’t register him until January 1st so he won’t train with us but I always feel it’s good, I had this experience at Celtic with the Asian lads we brought in, the Japanese and Korean boys, bringing them in before Christmas which allows them to settle in, especially off the field.
“That way by the time we get to register them in a couple of weeks they are already settled and can train fully.
“It’s good to see him around.
“He has been doing some English lessons which is great, he’s already sort of conversing and it’s great to have him in the building.”
All eyes will be on how quickly Postecoglou slots the Korean talent into the Spurs team, with games coming thick and fast.
